We have all been there. Even if they are not our children, we have had to endure screaming babies, kids kicking the back our your chair etc. We have been fortunate with our children. They are usually well behaved. Kayla is autistic and we worried that she would not be able to handle air travel. She is one of the best I have ever flown with. She loves flying. Let her sit near the window and she is content. She has been to China two times with us.
Michelle is going on the next journey. I think she will be fine. She has gone back one time since we adopted her. This will be the second. I can only think of one trip where she was not happy. We were lucky enough to go to Paris, France. We were trying to save money, so we listed her as a lap child. Big mistake. She felt she was old enough to have her own seat. She spent most of the flight at our feet. At least she did not cry.
Kiersten was great. She had no issues. The only one I could think of was that she kept requesting things from the stewardess. We did not know what she was doing because we did not understand Mandarin. But, the stewardess did. We finally told her if she asks for soda, the answer is no.
I have talked about Mia. Her trip was good for the most part, until the stewardess made us put her in her own seat. She did not like that. I still think she would have problems, but she may be happy in her own seat. Only time will tell.
Elana will be our next. How she will react is any one's guess. She will be scared. Since she can not see, that will be another issue. With the pressure changes, who knows how she will take it. We are ready. We have seen/heard children that have had really bad flights. I am just keeping my fingers crossed for a quiet one.
